The evaluation of the unsolicited proposal focuses on LGU assessment of the proposal's consistency with the LGU's development strategy. If consistency is determined, the LCE then gets the local sanggunian's approval and then endorses the proposal to the ICC for approval. The assessment of the ICC, on the other hand, focuses on the concept or technology being proposed to the LGU which must possess at least one of the following attributes stipulated in the IRR of RA 7718, as follows:
1. A recognized process, design, methodology or engineering concept which has demonstrated its ability to significantly reduce construction costs, accelerate project execution, improve safety, enhance project performance, extend economic life, reduce costs of facility maintenance and operations or reduce negative environmental impact or social/economic disturbances or disruptions during either the project implementation/construction phase or the operation phase;
2. A process for which the project proponent or any member of the proponent consortium possesses exclusive rights, either worldwide or regionally;
3. A design, methodology or engineering concept for which the proponent or a member of the proponent joint venture or consortium possesses intellectual property rights.
The unsolicited proposal evaluation process is defined under Rule 10, Section 10.7 of the IRR of RA 7718.
